Ensembles’ Wear My Design Competition Year 2

Calling all aspiring designers!

Have you
ever dreamed of having your designs being sold in Ensembles stores nationwide?

Following the success of the first WEAR MY DESIGN Competition last year
where 5 winning dresses comprised Ensembles' Spring 2013 Collection, the
innovative brand is ecstatic to announce the next installation of this much
anticipated contest starting on May 1 to June 30, 2013! If you have an eye for
fashion and a creative mind, then this is definitely for you! All you have to
do is submit a dress prototype of your design together with an application
form. All submitted entries will be uploaded to Ensembles’ Facebook page for
voting. Winning entries will be featured in the Spring Dresses 2014 Collection.

Five lucky
ladies have already gotten their dreams come true with the last year’s
contest. The dresses sold very well with customers having their own faves.
Who knows, maybe it’s your time to shine! There will be 8 grand winners. Each winner will receive
cash and gift certificates from Ensembles, plus Special Gift packs from our
wonderful partners VMV Hypoallergenics and Piandre Salon. Each winner shall
also be given one produced dress of his/her design (in his/her choice of color

The winning pieces will be reproduced by Ensembles for the Wear My
Design 2014 Spring Dresses Collection and the name of the grand winners will be
featured on the Ensembles Wear My Design hangtag.

About Me

I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger than reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. NO MORE WALLS.
